Extremely underrated wins?

Quartey was rusty as hell though. He came back after a year or 2 layoff.Think of some fights that really make you scratch your head and wonder why more attention is not paid to these fights.
I'll start with one that was on my mind.
I was thinking about how good Ike Quartey was... undefeated for a long time... got a bad decision against ODLH, lost again to Vargas... came back after like 5 years, and made Vernon Forrest look terrible, before Vernon had a really good run, proving that Forrest wasn't just shot. Really, only Wright has made Quartey look terrible.
Quartey had a killer jab that would have given almost anyone trouble in his prime, including someone like Mayweather who has always had trouble against a good jab IMO.
Anyway... I was thinking about how people make claims like, "Vargas lost all of his big fights", and that is complete bull****. He clearly beat Quartey in a really terrific performance, and yet he gets almost no credit for this fight.
Why is that? A convincing win over a prime Quartey is an absolute thing of beauty IMO.
Any other wins come to mind that can hang with Vargas-Quartey?Comment

Oscar was shot against Pac. He should never have gotten down to 147, its pretty clear. Yeah he made the weight easy but his blood sugar throughout camp was probably very low. He looked like ****.see everybody craps on this win...but if your going to say castillo was shot...then you must say oscar was shot against pac, thats false confidence there....castillo was number 1 contender jww, still could probably get good wins against most of teh top 10 a jww at the time....hatton def has an underrated win.Comment
